“We talked to BIR Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares and informed her of our desire to voluntarily comply with PAGCOR’s tax obligations by offering to settle P857 million in unpaid back taxes. This is our way of helping raise more funds for our government,” matud ni PAGCOR chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat Jr.

Sumala kang Naguiat, ang PAGCOR nagpadayon sa pag-praktis og prudent management sa mga pundo. “We want to make sure that we will have sufficient savings which can serve as PAGCOR’s buffer for exigent expenses and funding allocations. We were actually able to pay the P857 million back taxes to BIR using our savings.”

“We are committed to help our government in its campaign to move our country forward. This year, we intend to make PAGCOR more active in our government’s various nation-building efforts by implementing high-impact Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. This is our way of saying we care and we will do our part in improving the lives of our countrymen,” matud ni Naguiat. ### (PIA SoLeyte/esg)
